Less than a week after making Philadelphia the first U.S. city to reimpose a mask mandate, officials there are rescinding the policy that affected the city’s two casinos and other indoor public spaces.

Philadelphia’s Board of Health, citing decreased COVID-19 cases after a spike earlier in the month, voted Thursday to drop the new mask requirement that had only taken effect on Monday. The mandate had made the city an outlier among U.S. metropolitan areas, and the two casinos within the city limits – Rivers Philadelphia and Live! Philadelphia – were the only gaming venues in Pennsylvania where masks were required this week. But then decreasing hospitalizations and a leveling of case counts emerged.
